MAC Lipstick - All Fired Up - Review & Swatches

Color:

MAC describes the color as Bright Fuchsia Matte.

Finish:

Retro Matte. 

My Thoughts:

The color is to die for. It is the most gorgeous vibrant fuchsia leaning towards reddish undertones. 

It is extremely matte, without any sheen ... just pure burst of color. 

All Fired Up is insanely pigmented and the color comes out exactly the same on lips as in tube in single swipe.

It is my first retro matte finish lipstick by MAC.

MAC retro matte finish is inspired from MAC's most popular cult lipstick Rubywoo having one-of-a-kind texture. 

Rubywoo is a matte with very dry texture, that drags on lips like a crayon. Whereas, the Retro Mattes apply easily and are less drying comparatively.

I am finding it very drying on my lips even after exfoliating and applying lip balm underneath.

I have read people raving about its longevity of 6-8 hours. This is not same with me. 

It becomes patchy on my lips after very little time without any eating or snacking in between.  After applying It stays put fine on the outer corners and outline but begins to fade from middle of lips. 

If you have a habit of rubbing and smearing your two lips together, it will come off in bits.

I am loving all the shades in MAC retro matte collection but sadly finding this finish difficult to work with. 

I wish that MAC had released All Fired Up in Matte finish :(

I am still struggling to get used to with retro matte finish. 

Things I like...

• Beautiful vibrant color.
• Super matte effect.
• Sturdy black bullet MAC packaging.
• Vanilla-Choco scent.
• Color does not transfer or bleeds.
• It can be dabbed on lightly as a lip stain.
• It will look good on all skin tones - fair, medium, olive  and deep.

Things I do not like...

• Very dry texture.
• Becomes patchy.

My Ratings...

• 4/5

MAC Lipstick - So Chaud - Review & Swatches

Color:

MAC describes the color as intense reddish-orange.

Finish:

Matte. 

My Thoughts:

I love So Chaud. Its a beautiful reddish orange color which brightens up the face with a fresh pop of color. I will call this a very wearable orange lipstick unlike MAC Morange which is not for the faint hearted. 

I am NC40 and feel fabulous every time i wear this lipstick ... feels like sunshine, beach, vacation ..lolz. I guess this color adds some energy and liveliness to the mood :)

Like all MAC Mattes, it applies smoothly and stays on for good 4-5 hours. 

So Chaud will flatter all skin complexions. 

It does leave a faint stain on lips which looks good too. It can also be dabbed on for light tinted lip stain.

If you are afraid of trying orange lipsticks, i will definitely recommend So Chaud.  

Things I like...

• Lovely color for my complexion. 
• Sturdy black bullet MAC packaging.
• It will look good on all skin tones - fair, medium, olive  and deep.
• No need for reapplication for 4-5 hrs without drying out my lips.
• Its a permanent color. 
• Vanilla-Choco scent.

Things I do not like...

• There is nothing to dislike about MAC So Chaud Lipstick.

My Ratings...

• 5/5

MAC Lipstick - Chilli - Review & Swatches

Color:

MAC describes the color as Brownish orange-red.

Finish:

Matte. 

My Thoughts:

I will describe the color as brick red with some orangey terracotta undertones. It does not bring brown color on me which is a plus as i am not fond of brown lip colors.

It is a very beautiful and wearable red color. Not shouting and in your face color at all, easily wearable on day time as well as nights out. 

If you are hesitant of wearing bright red lipsticks, then you must give Chilli a try. Its a safe red color. 

I love Matte finishes by MAC. They are not drying at all. Applies smoothly and stays put for good 4-5 hours. If you have very dry lips, you can apply a lip balm underneath. 

It will look great on all skin tones.
